Seeking help reinstalling Photoshop CS6

I stand corrected. 

1) "It is not certified to run on the newest computers."  Not sure I understand this.  Why wouldnt it run on any computer that was built in 2012, or any system that continues to run today?  Dont have to answer.  My system is newer than 2012, but only because I had a crash on my older system with Win7.  Had to redo it from scratch and fight to install Adobe CS3.  I am running Win10 -64 and CS6 Full Production Suite worked well for many yerars.  I had CC when I first purchased CS3 but after two years of suffering CC, I got out of it.  CC slowed myPhotoshop and other work down to a crawl.  It took seconds to minutes for key board responses.  Until I removed CC and stopped its access to my computer.

2)  I purchased a full scale version of CS6 Production Suite.  It included s/w that Adobe no longer supports as you prebably know.

3)  I did purchase a student edition at the time.  I thought about using the original install disks, but only Photoshop was not working correctly.  That was not on the disk about correcting/fixing the s/w, or reinstallation, just install.  Did not want to fight with Adobe (as I have done many times in the past about s/w problems), so I gave up.  I went to Adobe for help, but they told me the s/w was too old and O did not have a maintenence agreement so they would not help me.  They told me to go to the forum if I need help.  So I did...this time.  I purchased CS1, CS2 upgrade, then CS3 & CS4.  Stopped there until CS6 camera out. I did not relize that when your system crashed and yoiu needed to reinstall s/w, that Adobe did not alow you to do so...because not only do you need a s/n, but you mush have an activation code...which Adobe will not provide.  I needed CS1 or CS2 running on my older WIN7 system because I needed teh one piece of s/w that allows me to read my Kodak image CDs where LKodak placed my images from film long ago.

4) I gave up - I surrendered to the power of Adobe and purchased CC for my CS6 Production Suite.   For 1 year.  I purchased a monthly discount offered by Adobe. No other choice as best I know.  After one year the price goes high - retired, on a fixed income, & and only an amteur photographer - but loving photography I will just have to learn to do w/o Adobe in the future after that.  I used to shoot film a lot and I may go back to it more now.  I dont know if Adobe will allow me to keep whichever s/w version I end with at the end of te year or not.  Adobe s/w is fine s/w, but they are no longer interested in the everyday small photographer who just loves taking photos, framimg them for his wall, and giving away photos to family and friends.

Since I purchase CC for now, and they had to come and do just what you said - wipe out my old s/w and reinstall the new.  I dont like the the new - but only because I am still trying to learn how to navigate.  My buttons are gone.  The plug-ins are gone that I used a lot.  One plug-in only works with Adobe PS.  But reading teh forum  informed me that some plug-ins is what possibably caused my problems with my origoinal s/w (in other words, I rand CS6 for many years w/o issue - vesion 13 - until just this past March 2019; and again in July 2019 seems things got worst until Nov when I could not open some Adobe files and some would be correctied...if a thmbnail roated, it would not open.  Could not even use PS it got so bad suddenly.  That's when I turned to Adobe and gave up and went to the forum for help - your help, thank you.

I need to learn how to use and navigate the Forum.  Its not as easy as I expected.  I could not even locate my questions until the email arrived with a link to reply.  

Thank you very much for you time and response.  There are other competitor s/w out there that dont do near as much but do enough to make a quality image. As retired, I wanted to do a lot of family videos now - extending my photographer from fixed images to slide shows and videos taken over time.  Thank you again.
